Folsom Elementary
Folsom Families,
It was a busy, full, and fun week at Folsom! Thank you to our Watch Dog Dads who met with our assistant principal, Mrs. Rubin, on Thursday and are planning on joining us this year to help strengthen our school community. We also had our first spirit night at Chick Fil A and it was so great to see Folsom families there connecting that evening. Read on to see some other highlights from the week!
We have a lot to look forward coming up after Labor Day weekend and are excited to see our students back on Tuesday (9/8). Please know that it's important to us that you know we are a team here at Folsom and you as parents are part of our team - do not hesitate to contact us and reach out with any questions or concerns.

Running Club
Our Folsom Running Club will be starting again on Monday, 9/21 for any 1st-5th Graders interested in signing up. Please scan the QR code or click on the link for the permission form and more information! As a reminder, students participating in Running Club are expected to be able to run or walk for the duration of our time together. Students signed up for Running Club will not be permitted to play on the playground or on the fields during this time. The goal is to increase their stamina as the year goes on, and the best way to do this is by moving their bodies! Please reach out to Laura McCauley if you have any questions. We are excited for another year of running!
September 11th and November 11th
Each year at Folsom we are proud to recognize our Folsom community first responders and active military on September 11th and our Veterans on November 11th. We encourage our staff and students to wear red, white, and blue on those days.
On September 11th for Texas First Responders Day, we will have a slideshow after announcements honoring our Folsom first responders and active military. If you or a family member of one of our students would like to be in the slideshow, please send an email with a picture to me at aeturner@prosper-isd.net between now and September 10th. We will also have a moment of silence to commemorate September 11th, 2001 after announcements that day.
On November 11th for Veteran's Day, we invite our Folsom community Veterans in or for our annual parade. As this date gets closer, we will send out an RSVP for our Veterans to join us on that day.
Pastries with the Principal
Throughout the year, we will have Pastries with the Principal events where I would love to connect with you! Our first Pastries with the Principal event will be on September 11th at 8 am in the cafeteria. Save the date if you'd like to hear more about our campus goals for the 26-27 school year! We will have pastries and coffee available during the presentation and meet and greet as well.

Folsom Visitors and Volunteers
Lunch Visitors
- Starting September 8th, we are allowing lunch visitors! All visitors that come to eat lunch with a student must be listed in Skyward. We will ask for your driver's license during check-in.
Volunteers and Support
- Please join PTO if you are looking for many ways to get involved with our school and support! See the flyer for more information about joining.
- Calling all volunteers! Are you willing to get copies done for our hard working teachers? Sign up here if you are interested. Please reach out to Mrs. Fields in the front office if you have additional questions.
- All volunteers must have a completed background check. If you are interested in volunteering, you will need to submit an application for a background check each school year. We recommend getting this done now so you don't have to worry about it later in the year. To fill out a form, click here.
